Comparative study on the mechanical properties of banana and sisal woven rovings polyester composites
Journal Title: Carbon - Science and Technology - Year 2014, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Natural fiber polymer composites are widely used in many applications. Banana and sisal woven rovings reinforced polyester composites were manufactured by hand lay-up technique. The woven rovings were modified chemically by alkali treatment to enhance the mechanical properties. Tensile strength, flexural strength and impact strength were evaluated for 5 %, 10 %, 15 % and 20 % volume fractions of both woven rovings. The results of banana and sisal woven rovings composites were compared and it indicated that sisal woven rovings with higher volume fractions reveals better mechanical strength.
